Architects, building officials, civil engineers, consultants, developers, manufacturers, materials engineers, field inspectors, project engineers and managers, as well as structural engineering students attended the Association of Structural Engineers of the Philippines, Inc., (ASEP) 14th International Convention held at the Grand Ballroom of Great Eastern Hotel in Quezon City last May 21 – 22, 2009.
Guided by the theme, “Structural Engineering: Coping with the Global Crisis', the annual convention was filled with technical sessions that tackled a wide array of topics. These include performance-based design; retrofitting and strengthening; structural failures; structural risk; natural hazards and disaster crisis mitigation; ISO Standards and Codes of Practice, earthquake and wind engineering; value engineering; engineering ethics; urban planning and infrastructure development; fire, impact, and blast loads; case studies on high-rise buildings and long-span bridges; and prestresses and pre-cast construction, foundation, and geotechnical issues.
Seven plenary sessions were held throughout the event. These were the following:
The highlight of the convention was the election of officers for 2009 – 2010. The new set of ASEP Officers and Members of the Board of Directors are Mr. Adam Abinales, President; Mr. Anthony Vladimir Pimentel, Vice-President, Ms. Miriam Tamayo, Secretary; Mr. Virgilio Columna, Treasurer; Mr. Ronaldo Ison, Mr. Danilo Domingo, Mr. Vinci Nicolas Villasenor, Mr. Pedro Tolentino, Mr. Frederick Sison, Mr. Tony Avila, Directors, and Mr. Wilfredo Lopez, Immediate Past President and Ex-Officio Director.
The 14th ASEP International Convention is sponsored by Millenium Erectors Corporation, Steel Centre Philippines, Inc., RS Caparros Associates and Company, VSL International Ltd., Hyder Consulting, HILTI Corporation, Romer Montoya, F. ASEP, F. PICE, and Antonio Gutierrez and Associates.
